How a Scientific method and its difference between general approach?

already exists.

already exists as an alternate
of this question.

Would you like to make it the primary and merge this question into it?

exists and is an alternate of .

Merge this question into

Split and merge into it

it approaches by beacuase general is talking about how it works and
the scientific method talks about what it is and how it woks and
the way to do it the scientific method explains the way how
scientist do things

Scientific method refers to the particular process of solving problems--based on observation, empiricity and attribute of repetitiveness. Scientific attitute refers to willing…ness or temperament to follow/adopt this process for solving problems.

Unlike most earlier approaches, it did not rely on authorities like Aristolte or Ptolemy or even the Bible. It depended instead upon observation and experimentation. Read mo…re: http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_did_the_scientific_method_differ_from_earlier_approaches#ixzz1yShWWQ43

the hypothesis is part of the scientific method. the scientific method is just a bunch of steps you have to take when doing an experiment. the hypothesis is just the step wher…e you predict what the outcome of the experiment will be.

A hypothesis is an important part, a sub-element, of the scientific method. It is the guess that a scientist makes in an attempt to explain particular observational result…s, often and preferably, employing mathematical models. Observation is also a sub-element of the scientific method. A few examples: Neil Bohr in finding the radius of the atom and the energy of the electron in the orbits around the nucleus of the atom, he made some assumptions: In classical physics, any accelerated charge should give out energy in the form of radiation. Therefor, no electron can steadily revolve around the nucleus as it is accelerated, centripetally. So Bohr made his postulate as there are chances for charged particles to be silent without any radiation even though they are accelerated. But, to arrive at the desired result he laid a condition that the angular momentum of the revolving electron must be an integral multiple of h/2pi. Another example is the postulate made by Albert Einstein: He postulated that the speed of light is the same, even when there is a relative movement between the light source and the observer. So, a postulate lacks a firm scientific basis, and only shows that some reasonable explanations can be made for certain observations. Postulates are short of hypotheses, theories, or laws and are only a part of the scientific method, which includes all painstaking experimentation, peer review, proof of repeatability, etc. done over at so many places and with different situations, while having good control over related variables.

the difference there is nothing...... you see..... while doing a investigatory project we are following the scientific method and while doing that Hypothesis is included in do…ing there.....Hypothesis is an educated guess or idea of what yu may think might happen in response to certain conditions......... THAT's WHAT ALL I HAVE..... TNX.... for supporting my answer because I am the validictorian in PhiSci ....now I am graduated I am now here in ABS-CBN being a manager of this company......
There IS a difference. A hypothesis is what you think will happen during a scientific experiment. To do the experiment, you have a method. The method tells you have to perform the experiment with with very precise details. After the experiment is complete, you take your results and see if it supports the hypothesis . I do research and use methods and theories everyday.

A method that claims to be scientific involves the use of clear procedures which not only show how the results were achieved, but also clear enough for other researchers to at…tempt to repeat them and must also have empirical relevance to the world. Empirical relevance involves showing that statements, explanation etc. which are used or derived from this approach can be verified of checked out. A scientific method should be objective and not biased and should not rely on hearsay on unsubstantiated facts. A nonscientific method is not systematic and do not have principles in place that should be adhered to. Tshegofatso Rampatla

Scientific method approves through EXPERIMENTATION, non-scientific method is based upon beliefs and things that were not proofed. The Church used a non-scientific method, the …religious one, to explain people the universe and phenomenons.

The scientific method requires precise observation and reasoning, and intellectual discipline, and honesty. The non scientific method is something you make up to suit yourself…, and therefore, it could be anything you choose.
